KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The boos began reverberating at Arrowhead Stadium before the second quarter even arrived Sunday, and boy were they loud.
With a minute left in the first quarter, a Chiefs receiver had dropped another easy pass, one of many in a cacophony of embarrassing, careless miscues at the start of Kansas City’s AFC divisional round game against the Houston Texans.
And the crowd had seen enough.
The boos were full-throated. The Chiefs were trailing to an inferior team by 21 points … at home! Despite the fact the Chiefs had a higher-ranked offense, higher-ranked defense, higher seed — the works.
